Abstract

For a prime power q = p ^d and a field F containing a root of unity of order q we show that the Galois cohomology ring H ^*(G _F,ℤ/q) is determined by a quotient G _F ^[3] of the absolute Galois group G _F related to its descending q-central sequence. Conversely, we show that G _F ^[3] is determined by the lower cohomology of G _F. This is used to give new examples of pro-p groups which do not occur as absolute Galois groups of fields.
